free lamb pattern

Cute! I really am going to drag out the sewing machine… or learn to whip-stitch.

Swell

A nifty hat (okay, a toque according to the page) that would be good in a variety of colors and work well for guys or chicas. Plus I’ve discovered that this is a flattering shape for my face.

Halfdome

A guy-hat. Very manly for those bald heads.

These are the cutest little booties ever. Seriously. I’m going to go buy yarn to make these right away.

This is a fun toy for a baby that wouldn’t require buying more fabric.

Fun Flapper Hat

A cute, close-fitting hat.

Lacecap hat

A sweet lace hat.

Blue Hills hat

A nice manly hat that isn’t too hard (looking).
